Patriot Day
Today marks the 24th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, which killed nearly 3,000 people at the World Trade Center in NYC, the Pentagon, and Somerset County, Pennsylvania.
And the impact of the attacks continues to be felt: The FDNY says it has now lost more members to 9/11-related illnesses than the 343 firefighters who died on the day of the attacks. Earlier this week, the department added the names of 39 members who died of such illnesses to its Memorial Wall, bringing the total up to 402.
🎒✨ Back to School Night is happening NOW @CornwellAveES! Teachers are ready to meet you, classrooms are open for exploration, and we're sharing all the exciting plans for this year. Thank you to all the families joining us tonight! 📚👩🏫 #BackToSchoolNight #WHeRiseTogether

🌟 RISING TOGETHER: @WHGWashington in Action
There's something special happening @WHGWashington , and we can't wait to share it with you.
What We're Seeing This Week:
Students becoming historians, diving deep into cultural discussions that broaden perspectives
Young mathematicians supporting each other through complex problem-solving
Community-building through shared stories during engaging read-aloud sessions
Dedicated educators collaborating to create tomorrow's opportunities today
Why This Matters: When we commit to rising together, learning becomes more than individual achievement—it becomes a shared journey toward excellence.
Our Promise: Every decision, every lesson, every moment of support is designed with one goal in mind: opening doors for our students that lead to limitless possibilities.

📚📱 IMPORTANT UPDATE for @wh_secondary families!
Starting this school year, we're implementing Governor Hochul's Bell-to-Bell Cell Phone Ban to create a more focused learning environment for our students.
🎯 What This Means:
Week 1: Staff will collect phones/smartwatches at main entrance (returned at dismissal)
After Week 1: Students store phones in lockers ALL DAY (including lunch & passing periods)
Research shows this reduces distractions and improves focus & collaboration
📋 Progressive Consequences for Visible Phones: 1st offense: Phone confiscated + warning 2nd offense: Parent pickup required + detention
3rd offense: Parent pickup required + in-school suspension 4th offense: Daily office check-in/out for remainder of year
💬 Need to reach your child? Call our Main Office at 516-390-3214
We're committed to helping students develop positive decision-making skills and strengthen their focus on learning. Thank you for supporting this policy at home by reminding your child to secure their phone in their locker each morning.
Together, we're creating an environment where students can thrive! 🌟
